It would be a difficult thing to do. Without a definitive start, the
module would have no way of knowing when to send the OFF command. It can
be achieved with a more intelligent controllers such as Homeseer or Home
Vision.

The Dusk to Dawn sensor function is configurable on recent versions of the
MS13E but not on older versions. For older versions, a small piece of
black insulation tape over the light sensor would achieve the same effect.
The light sensor is easily identified as a small cylindrical unit the size
of a pea that has a clear window with a zigzag marking within it.
